Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.It’s been six years since the state of Colorado banned magazines that can hold more than 15-rounds of ammunition as part of a gun control package signed by then-governor John Hickenlooper that also included a “universal background check” bill. We know that background checks in Colorado haven’t haven’t increased since the law went into effect, but now 9 News in Denver has taken a look at the state’s magazine ban and found that it’s also being ignored by gun owners, gun stores, and law enforcement.
So, because Colorado’s law didn’t ban magazine parts or parts kits, stores can still legally sell the unassembled magazines. That bothers the state legislator who sponsored the original magazine ban, because gun owners aren’t supposed to look for legal workarounds to bans on commonly owned magazines, apparently.

Ineffective and mostly unenforceable. You’d think that might lead supporters of the gun control law to reconsider their position, but instead, they seem to be digging in and preparing to “close loopholes” in the existing law. State Rep. Rhonda Fields wants lawmakers to revisit the issue in the next session of the legislature, but even if they do pass a revised version of the magazine ban, it’s going to continue to be nearly impossible for police and and prosecutors to build a case against those found in possession of the magazines, given the grandfather clause that requires law enforcement to prove that the mags were acquired after the ban went into effect.
Amen and Amen.
YYYYEEEEEEESSSSS!
